Dearest Midwives, Happy International Midwives Day! Firstly, and really importantly, I want to say thank you to all the midwives. I know what it takes! I also know what it takes to be the best midwife you can be, serving women rather than the institution. It is our responsibility as guardians of the birth process…

One of the popular articles I have ever written is the The Spiritual Practice of Menstruation. It featured on my very first website nearly 20 years ago that my dear Father created for me. Many women contact me after reading it, usually finding it on their hunt to understand what is going on for them with their…

(For the purpose of introducing this concept, I will be using language including words like woman and man and pronouns like she, he, and we, and I will be referring to menstruation and menopause as the experience of a woman. My apologies if that upsets or disturbs anyone. My mission here is to introduce this needed concept…

I call myself an Agent of the Goddess, and what that means to me is that I am on assignment, carrying out missions for the greater good. Decades ago I drew myself a mission mud map (see above). It held all the places that I felt could be places for positive intervention to shift the…

Maybe it’s because… I have really understood the magical implications and opportunities of the time travel between hemispheres that I’m doing now… maybe it’s the energy of the eclipse season just past and still influencing us… maybe it’s because I feel…
